Jillian Michaels & Family: Farmer’s Market Fun

The Biggest Loser star Jillian Michaels and her partner Heidi Rhoades were all smiles with their two children – daughter Lukensia, 2, and son Phoenix, 8 months – in Malibu, Calif. on Sunday (January 13).

The family-of-four enjoyed the sunny afternoon at their local farmer’s market. Heidi and Lukensia walked hand-in-hand alongside Jillian who wore Phoenix in a baby carrier.

The celebrity trainer recently admitted that when she went public with the news of her newly expanded family, she was bracing herself for a rocky response.

“I was surprised. People were pretty supportive,” she shared. “We’ve got it all going on in our household — two moms and a black daughter — so I thought we were going to get it from every angle. But for the most part, people basically said, ‘God bless. Congratulations!’”

I am no expert, but the baby carrying in this pic looks painful for both mom and baby. Is that what it’s supposed to look like? With his weight all on his crotch?

He’s not crying, so he must be ok.

The first poster was right – this type of carrier is uncomfortable for both mom and baby. The design of the carrier, especially when forward facing, puts a ton of pressure on baby’s alone and hips, which can result in hip dysplasia. The most comfortable carriers, especially for bigger babies, are the ergonomically designed carriers (such as Ergo baby, which Alyssa Milano and Alyson Hannigan have been seen wearing) or woven wraps.
